Growing With Gratitude

As 2025 comes to a close, I’ve been spending intentional time reflecting on the growth, the stretch seasons, the lessons, and the quiet wins that didn’t always make the highlight reel.

Earlier this year, I caught myself doing what many high-achieving professionals do: moving from one commitment to the next without pausing to acknowledge how far I had come. On paper, things looked “successful.” But internally, I felt misaligned—productive, yet tired; accomplished, yet craving clarity.

So I did something simple but uncomfortable. I stopped.

I reflected on what energized me, what drained me, and where I had been saying yes out of habit instead of alignment. That pause changed the way I finished the year and how I’m approaching what comes next.

Gratitude has a way of bringing clarity.

When we slow down enough to look back, we begin to see patterns: what energized us, what drained us, what mattered more than we expected, and what no longer fits who we’re becoming.

Reflection isn’t about dwelling on the past.

It’s about gathering wisdom so we can realign with purpose and move forward with intention.

This is the heart of the work I’ll be guiding in an upcoming workshop called Reflect. Realign. Rise.

Not goal-setting for the sake of performance—but thoughtful recalibration rooted in values, clarity, and alignment.

Before rushing into what’s next, I’m asking myself:

What am I grateful for this year?

Where did I grow in ways I didn’t anticipate?

What do I want to carry forward—and what am I ready to release?

Because when we reflect well, we don’t just rise higher—we rise wiser.

What is one lesson from 2025 that you’re grateful for today?

If you’re ready to pause, reflect with intention, and step into what’s next with clarity, I invite you to join me for Reflect. Realign. Rise.
